We’ve heard Americans loud and clear.
From increasing pay and taking on corporations, to lowering everyday costs on housing, groceries, and childcare, our agenda reflects that we're ready to take real action.

We just voted on the FISA bill. A majority of the House supports reforms to protect Americans from being surveilled by their own government. We can’t keep doing the same thing and expecting different results.
Without those critical safeguards, I couldn’t support it. I voted NO.
Now why exactly did Mike Johnson keep these innocent FEMA, TSA, and Coast Guard employees working without pay for all this time? This bipartisan bill has been on the table FOR WEEKS! This really was a shameful episode.
This unauthorized war is yet another example of the Trump admin’s brazen and illegal attempts to consolidate power.
We need it to end, to bring our servicemembers back to safety, and to get Congress and this administration to focus on lowering the cost of living here at home.
Today, I voted no on the Republicans’ Farm Bill.
This was a missed opportunity to reverse the cuts to SNAP and rein in the damage from Trump’s trade wars to give farmers critical relief. Ultimately, this bill will hurt families and farmers while helping big corporations.
Today I’ll be introducing a war powers resolution to give Congress another chance to end this reckless war of choice in Iran.
Today, @usprogressives.bsky.social unveiled our New Affordability Agenda – concrete and courageous policies that directly tackle the cost of living crisis.
We can’t stop at anything to get this done – no matter what Big Pharma, Big Tech, and Big Oil say.
I was proud to stand with my @usprogressives.bsky.social colleagues today and endorse our New Affordability Agenda.
Americans couldn’t be clearer that things are too damn expensive right now. This Agenda is our message to them: we hear you, we see you, and we WILL fight for you.
This is a disgraceful opinion – decided on strictly partisan lines – and yet another major blow to our democracy.
They've effectively taken the teeth out of the landmark Voting Rights Act and invalidated so much hard-fought progress. A truly sad day.
The price of gas is the highest it’s been in 4 years, and it’s gone up 28% just since Donald Trump started his war of choice in Iran (per AAA).
Trump is worth billions of dollars. He doesn’t know how much it impacts hardworking families when the price of gas goes up like this.
My Republican colleagues on the Judiciary Committee want us to forget the decades-long campaign to terrorize patients and providers at reproductive health facilities across the country. But I came with receipts.
Republicans said Mexico would pay for Trump’s border wall. Then they used our taxpayer dollars instead.
They said his ballroom would be privately funded. Now, they want to use our taxpayer dollars instead.
Notice a trend? They kiss his ass. You foot the bill.
You know what they say about guilty consciences…
Corporations are making record profits while Trump turns his back on workers and wines and dines with billionaires.
In Congress, I'll always champion workers' rights to join a union and stand together for better benefits, protections, and dignity in the workplace.
Costs are high and hardworking families are struggling to afford the basics.
We have the resources we need to help folks. Clearly, the GOP has other priorities.
You don’t have to be a gay woman to embrace and embody the spirit of Lesbian Visibility Day.
Wherever and whoever you are, take a step toward doing that thing you’ve always wanted to do today.
I’m glad to see California is taking Amazon to task for price fixing. At a time when American families are struggling to afford the basics, no company should be able to wield so much power that they shape the market like this.
We need an economy that works for all of us.
What happened at the White House Correspondents Dinner was terrifying. I’m grateful for everyone’s safety and for the quick action of law enforcement.
Political violence is unacceptable in all forms. We must build a future where people don’t have to fear violence at public events.
